Sitting Quotes

Looking back, I spent a lot of time sitting in pubs when I should have been perfecting my playwriting Picture Quote #1

When cancer first came into my life, people all around me treated it as the enemy. I was told I had to join the medical team and we’d fight together to defeat it. This was the wrong thing to say to someone who was the last one to be picked for any team. I was much happier sitting on the sidelines and encouraging the other players. I was totally unskilled at defeating anything. So I secretly went my own way and decided that I was free to choose the meaning of the healing experience. I decided I would develop a friendly relationship with the cancer, which was something I was good at Picture Quote #1

As there are three of us come on purpose for the game, you won’t be so cantankerous as to spoil the party by sitting out Picture Quote #1

Becoming an artist is about sitting and paying attention to the world that is passing everyone else by Picture Quote #1

Hakomi is a path taken by those who work to go beyond the half remembered hurts and failed beliefs that linger unexamined in the mind and body, hurts that act through barely conscious habits and reactions. This work is a part of that heroic labor, a cousin to sitting meditation, to singing bowls and chanting monks Picture Quote #1

When I’m sitting in the church alone, I can hear singing of the old people. I can hear their singing and I can hear their praying, and sometimes I hum one of their songs Picture Quote #1

I sincerely believe that there is a time in life for drifting. There is a time for sitting back and getting in touch with yourself. Some of our most interesting illuminations and ideas will come when we take time to reflect, time to kick back and cruise awhile Picture Quote #1

There are many ways to seek wisdom. There is travel, there are masters, there is service. There is staring into the eyes of children and elders and lovers and strangers. There is sitting silently in one spot and there is being swept along in life’s turbulent current. Life itself will grant you wisdom in ways you may neither understand nor choose. It is up to you to be open to all these sources of wisdom and to embrace them with your whole heart Picture Quote #1

I’ve often said that all poetry is political. This is because real poems deal with a human response to reality and politics is part of reality, history in the making. Even if a poet writes about sitting in a glass house drinking tea, it reflects politics Picture Quote #1

I do my thinking while I walk. It just loosens up the mind in the way that you don’t get when you are sitting at a desk Picture Quote #1

It’s definitely a thing to be sitting there, getting a pedicure, and you look over and someone is reading an article about an aspect of your life that you know is not true. It’s weird, it’s uncomfortable, but I don’t see it changing anytime soon, so I should figure a way to laugh through it Picture Quote #1

There are these boutique writers out there who think if they are not writing their novels sitting at a bistro with their laptops, then they’re not real writers. That’s ridiculous Picture Quote #1

I was raised by a single psychologist mother and we spent every evening sitting at the kitchen table and dissecting our emotions and speculating about the inner life of everyone we knew Picture Quote #1

I’m capable of living in the moment. And I’m especially capable of living in the moment of sitting on my sofa and watching other people’s moments Picture Quote #1

The funny thing about writing is I think a lot of people assume that you’re sitting in a garret with a quill pen for hour after hour Picture Quote #1

You know what I have noticed? And this is really sad. Flying first class is less scary than flying coach. They speak to you and they’re so nice to you and they want to help you and they know you want a drink before the plane takes off. And they bring it to you without asking. If you’re sitting in coach and hoping for a drink, good luck Picture Quote #1

Think about how much it costs to incarcerate someone. Do we want them just sitting in prison, lifting weights, becoming violent and thinking about the next crime? Or do we want them having a little purpose in life and learning a skill? Picture Quote #1

I come from a broken home. My parents split up when I was nine. Everyone gave me a good wallop. But I come from a time when you just put up with that, you got on with things rather than sitting moaning about them Picture Quote #1

I saw a ghost once, about 20 years ago. It took the form of someone coming out of a sleeping body and sitting at the foot of the bed Picture Quote #1

I have such bad memories, sitting in the back of a classroom, being told, you know, everybody is going to read a paragraph, and skipping ahead to my paragraph and being mortified and trying to read it enough times so that I wouldn’t stutter and stammer, getting called on, even in high school Picture Quote #1

Here’s what I love: I love sitting at my desk, staring at the blank screen, and beginning that conversation with my imaginary friends Picture Quote #1

Portraiture keeps me humble. It’s simple and straightforward. There is nothing more interesting I can make up than the figure sitting right in front of me Picture Quote #1

As a kid, I grew to define what I didn’t want my life to be like by sitting behind moaning women on the bus, hearing them bang on about their aches and pains, both real and imagined Picture Quote #1

I like the performing. And interviews, even. And the stuff that’s not sitting in a room by yourself with empty paper. But I never loved writing, to tell you the truth Picture Quote #1

I was sitting in the classroom trying to look intelligent in case the teacher looked at me Picture Quote #1

I’ve got lots of books sitting here that have never been published because nobody could make any marketing sense of them Picture Quote #1

When you’re sitting in front of a screen, you’re not using all of your senses at the same time. Nowhere than in nature do kids use their senses in such a stimulated way Picture Quote #1

The best thing in business is to follow your gut. If a decision is not sitting well with you, don’t just make it Picture Quote #1
